    Congratulations on the video.
    I'm a 71 years old guy, third degree bjj black belt under Luiz Guilherme Guigo, former world champion.
    I enjoyed a lot your video because the strategy and mindset that you use is the same as mine to try to survive the younger friends at the gym. Congrats for the good work and regards from Brazil.

    I have been playing this slow controlled long game for many years now, probably the last 10 at least. I am going to be 44 in a week or two and I know I want to roll for the rest of my life. As such I made my mind up long ago that I needed to play a smarter slower controlled game. This is an awesome video. I am now 25 years into BJJ and never want to have to give it up.

      36 year old purple belt and I train at Checkmat HQ. No sense in training light. If you’re smart you can go full speed with the young guys. Flowing is good to warm up, cool down, and explore new techniques, but getting after it is what takes you to the next level. Just because you like to train hard, aggressive rounds does not mean you’re a meathead.

    • @DonGately

    Thank you for sharing these “old guy” videos. As a 60 year old smaller (155 lbs) brown belt, I have to move slow. It keeps me safe, conserves my energy, and allows me to capitalize on my younger, bigger training partners’ mistakes. Osss

I started BJJ when Ii was 66 years old; I am now 69 years old. Your son is very skilled and I love the fluidity of both your movements. Excellent grappling.. Well done! I will learn a lot by watching you both grapple. Your videos are clear and concise not verbose, like so many others, i am learning a lot from your videos - thank you. professor🙏

    • @carpejkdiem
      @carpejkdiem Před 2 lety

      @UC03e6UNnV-oNz4Kwotg7eTQ Gravity is a deception so maybe better said the weight density , pressure,, and good angles, and understanding how to slow them down based on physiology and I guess some would say physics. Gravity is so ingrained from the conditioning of that theory pulled off as if to be fact in most minds because of repetitive social engineering. GRANTED I understand the desire to not actually have to think and keeping it simple under that overused word that keep us from thinking.
      Kind of like believing the sun 🌞 deity Helios is now 93 million miles up yet its local as are sun rays when its engulfed with clouds ☁️ just a few miles up.
      I get it though its much easier to parrot conditioned responses & celebrate traditions of men handed by the indoctrination centers and through the propaganda mind programming machine called the TV when we got home, than it is to look up and use common sense. They win if you refuse to use the frontal lobe they deliberatly flouridated poisoned manipulated forced indoctrinated socially engineered lied to about everything since birth with much success.
      Its just easier. And you'll know you're indoctrinated when your triggered response to anything that takes thought and simple observation and opposes or calls in question the narrative created and propagated for us throughout 🤔 and in the theme of simplicity like the majic behind the word Gravity you can utter fuck off conspiracy theorist and the say some to promote big pharmaceutical for free like a good victim like you need mods man. How dare anyone challenge the status quo programming of the elite. Who are polytheist sun 🌞 deity Osiris/Helios/NIMROD/BA'AL worship lover of death cult so thats ironic.
      Just challenging you to rethink or think 🤔 about a few things.
      Even the racist guy Darwin they put in place for the EVOLUTION model to help so many become atheists which is actually from gnostic polytheist texts by the fallen ones is a FREEMASON 33° satan/serius/sun deity worshipper and every Mason has to believe in a GOD/HIGHER POWER/RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE OF MAN to become initiated into the lodge. In other words there are no Atheists in FREEMASONRY and all presidents all astro NOTS ect are FREEMASON including Darwin who was used to mislead the deliberatly flouridated dumbed down poisoned manipulated forced indoctrinated socially engineered lied to about everything since birth mindslave masses to a Godless state as the pump our minds full of every filth & perversion so we are distracted and easily manipulated easily decieved easily misled easily thought for easily controlled ect while they boast of depopulation and con the distracted masses to give up our FREEDOMS under the guise of and for occult polytheist Luciferian overzealous religious SCIENCE SO CALLED religion called SCIENTISM/BABYLON returns as was written.
      As for the blind faith forced indoctrination religion of racist savages program called EVOLUTION out of the 6 different kinds of evolution only one is proven by the SCIENTIFIC METHOD and there's no change from one kind to another kind .
      Gravity was a majick answer Theory to kids questions to shut them up so they stop thinking,, thats been debunked immediately yet its still pushed as fact yet still called a Theory by victims of social engineering such as yourself. So please question everything and when you can use observational science as well before parroting the program only as if that is the facts. When its not.
      Think 🧠 question 🤔 everything 🤔

    This is great! I'm a 27-year-old purple belt who has recently put on a significant amount of weight (over about the past two years at purple). My previous style was very athletic and loose. Because of my gas tank getting worse, I've had to transition to "rolling like an old guy" quite a bit, and I've benefitted from integrating that style. It's great to see these concepts laid out so clearly.

  • @ChesapeakeFan

I'm a big guy, and used to being able to overpower people, but I've had to change my game in the last year. Learning the patient game is definitely starting to work for me, thank you for your videos!

      Nice to hear about someone rolling with a hip replacement. Also a 50 year old blue belt and just found out my long time hip/groin/glute pain was due to advance arthritis so I will be needing a new hip in the next 12-18 months. Was worried I may have to give up BJJ but happy to find out there are a bunch of us old guys out there still going strong with a new hip.

      @@arneilson4450 54 y/o 2 week white belt coming off hip resurfacing (better for sports like BJJ). My hip feels great, its all the rest of me that feels so old after waiting too long for the surgery and allowing pain to keep me from being physical for the past 10 years. If i could do it over, I would have done it much sooner so I didn't loose so much fitness.

  • @WillieMathewsWAM
    @WillieMathewsWAM Před 2 lety +4

    I am not an old guy but these videos are still helpful to me at 23 years old because of my smaller physique (151 pounds) and injuries from sports and such. I have a oddly shaped spine, I have had back pain since I was 7, my wrists are extremely weak and require a lot of healing and care due to manual labor, playing guitar and saxophone (which I go to college for), and past injuries. I’ve been doing bjj for going on 5 months now and i find I can not do a lot of things others can do (mostly lifting). I work out and I am in great shape but I’m trying to be more smart than I am physical and I learn a lot from the older men and women in the gym. Thank you for the insight from a perspective most do not look from.

    • @deputyjack1
      @deputyjack1 Před 2 lety +1

      Awesome story👍 don't worry about comparisons to what others are able to do, due to their gifts of physicality or athleticism, or for that matter, at the stage you're at, their experience and knowledge base. Their style...
      Just strive to improve everyday, to be better than YOU were the day before. Ultimately, you can control the consitancy of your practice. Never stop trying to improve, the aim of your growth is to be the best version of you... Let the other guys be the gym heros, or pseudo world champion wanna bees... You'll enjoy jiu-jitsu more, and you'll keep your enthusiasm and energy fresher, a lot longer, and likely won't get injured as often... Best of luck 👍😊
      P. S. Get pre-wrap and tape your wrist... Every time... 😊

    • @geofflloyd1821
      @geofflloyd1821 Před rokem

      No need to dread it Ajo. You don't get old all at once. There will be plenty of time to adjust your game as you age. Not to mention gaining skill which definitely helps compensate for speed, strength, quickness and stamina. I'm a 54 y/o 2wk white belt. It's tough but being physical again after years of injuries and surgeries is so rewarding.

    54 y/o white belt as of 2 weeks ago. I really appreciate the narative on technique, strategy and old guy psychology. It's been fun getting back into being physical again after several years of injuties, illness and most recently hip resurfacing. But, it is discouraging to be at the bottom of such a big steep mountain as an old guy. So thankful to hear even as a black belt you need to accomodate for age. As they say, a black belt is a white belt that never quit -- gonna try to embody that mindset. Thanks for sharing brother, it's been very encouraging.

    As a purple belt of similar age, I am working on my "slow and methodical" game these days. I'm bigger, stronger, and even leaner than most guys at my school and I do cardio regularly. But chasing 22yo's on the mat is exhausting when they set the pace.
    Based on the comments, it seems that you have many subs in their 40s and 50s that train BJJ. This channel's "niche'" could be to continue making vids for guys and women over 40. Tell us how to slow down younger guys and how to dictate the pace. How you use pressure and grips effectively. What's the best guard for an older guy? I would really enjoy learning more ways to set the pace and keep me in the sport longer.
    Thanks

    The “I just wanna go back” voice over at 10:28 is exactly how I feel when I lose position😂😂

    Rick: I am a new white belt (training since May 2021) and this perspective has totally changed my training approach. I had some great rolls this week because I took my time and waited for opportunities to advance to open up. Thanks Rick!!

    As a fellow BJJ old guy, I regret not making it up to Third Way while you were there. Best of luck in future endeavors.

    As a 43 yeard old purple belt (and one of the smallest guys in my gym), I found this video so informative. An absolute gem. Thanks so much for sharing this!

    This is a great video. So many cool principals like being patient and making the guy work harder than you. Love the gi tail choke - I love the gi tail baseball choke. Itasca great old guy move.
